On Saturday of State Bryan received sage from Manuel Garza Adalphe, acting minister of foreign af- fairs of Mexico, declaring on be- half of President Huerta that the presence of John Lind woud be undesirable in Mexico unless he brought recognition of the Huerta government.

It was regarded as_ probable that there would not be any out- ward demenstration of hostility against John Lind on his arrival, although there had been no abate- ment of the disapproval on the part of Mexicans to his coming, London, Aug. 12.—The British government is nettled at the com- ments of the American press con- cerning Great*Britain’s recogni- tion of Huerta as the president of Mexico, and declares that this comment is based upon a mis- conception of the facts.
